## Description

Product Description The #1 New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett comes to vivid life through the powerful performances of a phenomenal ensemble cast. Led by Emma Stone, Academy Award®-nominated Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress, Doubt, 2008), Octavia Spencer and Bryce Dallas Howard, The Help is an inspirational, courageous and empowering story about very different, extraordinary women in the 1960s South who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project — one that breaks society’s rules and puts them all at risk. Filled with poignancy, humor and hope — and complete with compelling, never-before-seen bonus features — The Help is a timeless, universal and triumphant story about the ability to create change.Special Features: Deleted Scenes with introduction by director Tate Taylor A Senator's Son Keep on Walkin’ “The Living Proof” Music Video desertcart.co.uk Review There are male viewers who will enjoy The Help, but Mississippi native Tate Taylor aims his adaptation squarely at the female readers who made Kathryn Stockett's novel a bestseller. If the multi-character narrative revolves around race relations in the Kennedy-era South, the perspective belongs to the women. Veteran maid Aibileen (Doubt's Viola Davis in an Oscar-worthy performance) provides the heartfelt narration that brackets the story. A widow devastated by the death of her son, she takes pride in the 17 children she has helped to raise, but she's hardly fulfilled. That changes when Skeeter (Easy A's Emma Stone) returns home after college. Unlike her peers, Skeeter wants to work, so she gets a job as a newspaper columnist. But she really longs to write about Jackson's domestics, so she meets with Aibileen in secret--after much cajoling and the promise of anonymity. When Aibileen's smart-mouthed friend Minny (breakout star Octavia Spencer) breaches her uptight employer's protocol, Hilly (Bryce Dallas Howard) gives her the boot, and she ends up in the employ of local outcast Celia (Jessica Chastain, hilarious and heartbreaking), who can't catch a break due to her dirt-poor origins. After the murder of Medgar Evers, even more maids, Minny among them, bring their stories to Skeeter, leading to a book that scandalizes the town--in a good way. Not since Steel Magnolias has Hollywood produced a Southern woman's picture more likely to produce buckets of tears (and almost as many laughs). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Review: Pie - I just got so angry for the 'help' in this film. A real expose of the Deep South and America's shameful treatment even into what we would consider an enlightened era the 60's. Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis are truly the reason this film is so successful as they hold up a mirror to a disgraceful history with passion, humour and empathy. Great story of resilience and courage and certainly made me think. One word 'Pie'...keep that word in your mind when you watch this fabulous film.
Review: Two Slice Hilly - The story of "The Help" might not be the most harrowing, most awful, most difficult story of racial prejudice in the US but is a story from a domestic setting, a story of women. So few stories of women are told. I loved the book, I loved the film but didn't like the changes. Not fine art but a story and an interesting story. A good film. Sometimes moving the focus of an important time in history like the civil rights movement to something more domestic and mundane makes it more real. The big moments take time to filter to real people. There are some fine and real performances in this from Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone. I find it perplexing that desertcart chooses to list this as "The Help" Emma Stone (Actor, Primary Contributor), Bryce Dallas Howard (Actor, Primary Contributor), Tate Taylor (Director). What happened to the black actresses? The thing I found sad about the adaptation is Constantine's story was rushed. Her daughter was very different in the book and had more of a significant part in humiliating Skeeter's mother which although was worse than portrayed (for the time) made Skeeter's mother much less sympathetic as a character. The other sad thing is that I'm really not sure how I feel about the story. I don't know how I feel about the author and her inspiration. Bad things have been claimed which you hope not to be true because you want the story to be pure and full of hope but nothing in reality is like that. A good film. A film with a message and perhaps it is the latter which makes it difficult but a good film nonetheless.
